Well I woke up in the morning on the wrong side of the bed
And I got to thinking about all those things you said
So I got on my bike and rode across these hills
I took each curve just a little faster
You always told me I was a walking disaster
But I laughed, coz honey it ain't speed that kills
Yeah, I'll be gone with the break of day
You never know if I'll be back someday
I go where the ravens call my name
I got two wolves riding by my side
And I know life comes and then life dies
But I've always been a winner in this game
I never had money, I never made it rich
Sang from the heart, never had perfect pitch
Lay it down, make my trigger finger twitch
Coz I'm a hard riding, hard drinking, hard fighting son of a bitch
Well I've been to the Gates of Hel and back
I've seen the ocean seas turn black
And I always knew when the battlefield was near
I been across this land and world
Seen men die, seen flags unfurled
And I never knew a trace of fear
I never had money, I never made it rich
Sang from the heart, never had perfect pitch
Lay it down, make my trigger finger twitch
Coz I'm a hard riding, hard drinking, hard fighting son of a bitch
At the end of the road I reach the ocean
And I think about years of devotion
To a cause that I know I'd die for
I know someday the dead will rise
And waves of fire wash the skies
And I will rest, this time forevermore
But I never had any regrets
I lived and loved and rode with the best
And I know there's no mercy for the slain
I think about the hearts I broke
And all the ghosts I turned to smoke
And I know that I'd do it all again
I never had money, I never made it rich
Sang from the heart, never had perfect pitch
Lay it down, make my trigger finger twitch
Coz I'm a hard riding, hard drinking, hard fighting son of a bitch
I never had money, I never made it rich
Sang from the heart, never had perfect pitch
I shot a man in Reno just to watch his corpse twitch
Coz I'm a hard riding, hard drinking, hard fighting, hard biting, fast talking, back breaking Goddamned son of a bitch
